A 330ml bottle with a BB of Nov 2011. Rear label mentions that a strain of Bavarian yeast is used in the brewing of this wheat beer.

Poured into a Guinness pint glass; bottle was swirled towards the end to ensure the yeast was fully suspended. A cloudy, almost opaque golden-amber hue. Fine carbonation is visible at the edge of the glass. Produces a thick creamy head of white foam, although this subsides quite quickly. A complex aroma of yeasty sourness, fruity esters, bananas and cloves - fantastic!

Taste is pleasingly sour, with extra bite from the carbonation. Notes of yeast, fruit esters, bananas and cloves all mingling on the palate. A flavour smorgasbord! Mouthfeel is very smooth and velvety, with prickliness from the CO2 (this fades after a while). Faint sour yeast aftertaste.

A lovely hefeweizen - subtly acidic with lots of yeast flavours contributing to the taste. A good match for genuine German hefes, and worth your time if you come across it.

Poured into Hefe Weiss style glass, decent dense white head, typical of Wheat beers, though body not as cloudy as some. Aroma typical of German style Hefe Weiss beers, though less pronounced as the best - cloves, fruity and banana's.

Taste similar to the German style (and probably the best UK brewed German Weiss style I have tasted) though slightly sweeter finish than most German Weiss beers. No great depth of flavours however, and a light finish - making it less satisfying than the best of the German's.

However, for a UK brewed German style Weiss beer, think it's a decent job and would have it again, though not in preference to Schneider, Wehenstephener, Erdinger, Maisels or Andechs etc!

Poured into a Corsendonk badged, stemmed tulip glass. A small amount of sediment sat within the glass, but the beer was almost crystal clear, golden and lively. A white head left before it could settle, leaving a wisp and collar.

The aroma was of yeast and peaches, not the normal banana and vanilla smells associated with this style. Nothing wrong with that, except the label claimed banana, cloves and toffee smells.

Wheat flavoured in the taste, fairly dry for the style, yeasty too.

Not overly impressed I'm afraid, the 5% ABV is evident, but it doesn't do anything to add any substance to the beer.

Poured into an Old Speckled Hen pint glass. Pours with a very small head which dissipates extremely quickly. No lacing, looks quite disappointing, very little head, but at least the color is a nice golden wheat yellow.

Tastes a lot blander than the smell - a bit of banana and estery flavors which really are secondary to the quite prominent yeasty flavor. It's not very intense, a decent imitation of a hefeweizen but too light and weakly flavored to be anywhere near a good hefe.

The mouthfeel is too carbonated, drinks moderately easily but far too gassy to really be enjoyable. Decent, but really not that great as a hefeweizen.

A- Cloudy yeasty pale blonde with 3 finger head after aggressive pour. Head reduces very quickly, lacing is average.

S- The banana quality in the nose is fantastic, so fresh. Some clove notes.

T- Lots of banana again, fading to a faint bitterness, every so slightly thin finish. The banana lingers on. Maybe some youghurt creaminess.

M- Medium to high carbonation, light, spritzy, but a bit thin.

D- The banana element is delicious in the nose and tongue but appearance is letting it down. If the beer had a little more body to it, it would be a winner as the smell is excellent. Still very refreshing and easily drinkable.

Amber color, a little hazy but without loosing its brightness with lots of head with good density and retention.Mild aroma of cereals, yeast and cloves. And a predominant citric smell leaning towards orange like and a hint of banana.Taste similar to aroma, with a zesty and citric flavor of orange and lime. Not so sweet and more acid in comparison to other wheat beers. Extremely refreshing with a superior drinkability of his counterparties.

Appearance: Honey coloured and cloudy. Pours with a medium white head, although it has poor retention.

Aroma: Grainy wheat, with a slight sweetness. Orange, and possible a hint of honey or maybe toffee.

Taste: The initial flavours are citrus, followed by a hint of sourness. After this there are sweet toffee flavours combined with a sugary biscuitiness, ending the beer with a lingering sweet graininess.

Mouthfeel: Fresh. and crisp, with a mild sharpness.

Drinkability: Not the best beer I have had from the Meantime brewery. It is very refreshing but it lacks something in the flavours. Unfortunately, this is just an average offering from an otherwise fantastic brewery.

Slightly spicy. Quite restrainted spice, no real hops but a light, dry finish. A very subtle hint of barnyard-ish yeast is probably the best thing going on here. In total, not a lot happening, but quite unoffensive.

Thin watery body and minimal carbonation.

Honestly, this is completely unoffensive, not interesting, but not bad. Could pound these all night.

A terrific golden orange colour that cloudy as expected. The lack of a good head was a slight disappointment.

A pleasant & unique combination of banana and toffee that works well together & is rounded off nicely with spices & cloves at the back. Refreshingly pleasant & well balanced.

The taste of wheat & banana make up the main flavours of this beer & work well without being outstanding. There is a nice hint of toffee in there too which is different whilst still tasting like a hefeweizen.

Plenty of fizz and carbonation to this one, it is light bodied but could do with being more crisp in the finish.

This was a nice, enjoyable hefeweizen but definitely not the best I've tried. It works on some levels but the alcohol content can be tasted through the banana flavouring, in addition to this the lack of a head was a real let down.

T: I keep trying Meantime products really hoping to like them but so far, I've been a bit disappointed. Wheat is ok. Just ok. The scent and initial taste on the tongue promises a lot but doesn't deliver on the finish.
